Quite often, people complain not about a bacterial infection of the sinuses but about some strange sore throat and morning nasal congestion, which goes away for a while, and all this is accompanied by entirely unrelated symptoms: fatigue, headaches, and mood swings. In this case, an allergy can be diagnosed, and maybe even an allergen can be detected. But I was surprised that, for some reason, someone began to experience headaches less often or more often and felt less tired when treating nasal congestion. After that, I suspected that there was a connection between these symptoms.

There are currently no officially recognized tests available. This gap prevents you from knowing the condition of the house you intend to live in. It would be much simpler if, when renting or buying a house, we could request a document indicating the level of mold contamination in the building. Similarly, when sending your child to school or daycare, it would be wonderful to know more about the quality of the environment they will be in. Unfortunately, experimental tests are currently in use, and there is no official registry for the toxicity levels of indoor spaces. If authorities finally acknowledged this danger and implemented standards, it could potentially lead to a significant reduction in healthcare costs.

The modern generation of children spends more time indoors than any previous generation. Remember your own childhood; going outside was always a joy for us. We had friends, games, and couldn’t be dragged back home in winter or summer. Now you can’t even persuade children to leave the house!

It’s no longer a punishment when you say, “Don’t go outside today!” It’s exactly what children want - not to go anywhere and sit in front of their phone, computer, tablet, or television screen. But there is an opinion that this is one of the main reasons for the high prevalence of health problems among today’s youth.

It has long been known that the combination of mold illness and Lyme disease complicates treatment. But only now it has become clear that indoor mold complicates the treatment of any problem, even if the mold itself is not the primary cause of these problems.

The story of recognizing chronic mold mycotoxin intoxication is reminiscent of the story of recognizing chronic Lyme disease.

Before 2005, that is, before Hurricane Katrina, only a few specialists discussed this issue, and tests could only be conducted in non-standard testing laboratories. Patients went from one doctor to another, complaining of strange symptoms. They underwent standard laboratory tests, found nothing, and as usual, heard the phrase: “It’s all in your head.” After seeing an average of over 30 specialists, patients managed to find a specialist who suspected the presence of a non-standard problem and conducted mold testing.

Psoriasis is not just a skin problem. It is a condition that cannot be compared to other skin disorders because it has an autoimmune nature. Normally, healthy skin cells renew about once a month, but in psoriasis, skin cells rise too quickly and accumulate on top of each other.

According to individuals living with psoriasis, their quality of life is comparable to those suffering from diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. These individuals often feel isolated and believe that nobody understands them. In stressful situations, they may experience intense itching of the skin.

I myself had allergic rhinitis for many years. I was able to gain control over my condition without medication. The problem is gone, and the allergy has disappeared. I didn’t treat the allergy; I simply detoxified my body, adjusted my diet, changed my lifestyle, and used supplements. Gradually, the allergy season became shorter, and I had seasonal allergies from August until the first snowfall. My experience proves that the problem can be completely resolved, but it is a lengthy and meticulous process. Moreover, this applies not only to allergies but also to many other issues that can be resolved by restoring the immune system.

What is detox?

Detox is the process of mobilizing the body’s resources to eliminate toxins. Whether they are metallic or non-metallic, detoxification can be done independently or under the guidance of a specialist. However, specific health issues in the body can hinder the detoxification process.

Usually, even those who understand the importance of using organic food products often overlook the packaging material. Nevertheless, packaging often comes into contact with food products. If a product can be heated in its packaging, the likelihood of toxic substances leaching into the food becomes much higher.

It’s essential to know that many hazardous packaging materials are still widely used, despite information about their dangers being publicly available. Understanding this, you will be more mindful when choosing food products, taking into account the packaging as well.

It is commonly believed that most pollution is found in industrial areas, near landfills and factories. While we can certainly avoid such places, most of our time is spent indoors, not in natural park areas. This accounts for approximately 90% of our entire lives. For the majority of people, work, education, meals, and sleep all take place within enclosed spaces. These are areas where the air is not refreshed but rather circulates. This is especially relevant now, as many people are not even going outdoors to commute to work due to remote working and studying from home.
